Hi, I'm Patty

I'm a single mother of 4, and soon to be grandmother of 2. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I'm a mother of 4 grown kids. I've been divorced since my children were young. I live in the north-east of the United States. My hobbies are gardening,sewing and Salsa Rueda, a very fun social dance. I work as an administrative assistant at a college. I was adopted at birth, but recently met my birth family, which has been a lot of fun. It's interesting to have 2 families, one all history and no blood, and the other all blood and no history or, more accurately, only very recent history.

Why I am a Mormon

I'm a member of the church because it's true, and if there's one lesson my life has reinforced, it's that ignoring reality doesn't get you anywhere. Fortunately, being a member of the church is also a great blessing. I think for me the greatest blessing is the increased understanding of the nature of existence and the purpose of our life.

How I live my faith

I pray. I read the scriptures. I try to be kind, and honest and virtuous. I go to church every Sunday. I give other people rides to church on Sunday. I teach a classes at church. I help in the temple twice a month.

Do you really believe there is a prophet like Moses alive today?

Believing in Christ is believing in his perfection. Being perfect he will always do what is in the best interests of his people. In times past man has needed the assistance of great men to help them in their journey home. That need has never changed. In fact, there has never been a greater need of a prophet to guide the people than there is right now.

How can we stop the spread and influence of pornography?

Richard. answered...

I frequently hear people say that we need to protect children from pornography. That statement is true, but it forgets that adults are also damaged by the self-gratifying attitudes that pornography depicts. Pornography changes how we view each other. We should be politely vocal about our desire to avoid pornography. Pornography should not be forced upon us by our friends, government, employment, or entertainers. But it will be if we don't speak up about our values.
